the aforesaid ase-portion providing ledges at said spaces that are engageable to secure the tire to the wheel. f

Ai 8. A cushion tire which comprises the combination of a tread-portion, a baseortion, and a plurality of substantially straight outer andh inner walls, laterally separated from each other by spaces extending circumferentially around the tire and tapering to a ices at th\treadportion, said walls integra y joining said treadand baseportions, and all Iof said walls and spaces converging in the direction of the tread with the inner being more vertical than the outer; the aforesaid tread-portion being provided vwith a circumferential series of tread recesses extending transversely therein from opposite sides of the tire through substantially half the width of the tread and extending upwardly under the aforesaid members and spaces.

9. A cushion tire comprising a wheel-engaging base portion and a flange-free lower portion formed integrally therewith, said lower portion com rising inner and outer substantially straig t 'space-separated forceresist-ing and transmitting members united by a tread portion, all of said members converging towards one another in the direction of said tread portion which has a wide ground contact to deliver the thrusts lfrom the tread well under all of said inner and outer members, all of which thicken laterally under load and expand into said spaces without bending collapse.

10. A cushion tire comprising 4a wheel-engaging base portion and a flange-free lower portion formed integrally therewith, said lower portion comprising inner and outer substantially straight space-separated forceresisting and transmitting members united by a tread portion, all of said members convergin towards one another in the direction o said tread portion which has a wide ground contact to deliver the thrusts from the tread well under all of said inner and,

outer members, all of which thicken laterally under load and expand into said spaces without bending collapse, said outer members being more inclined to the vertical than the inner members.

11. A cushion tire comprising the combination with a tread` portion of a base portion integrally joined -to-said tread portion by a plurality of force-resisting and transmitting inner and outer members, said inner members being substantially straight and laterally separated from each other and from the outer members by spaces into which they ma expand when compressed, all of said mem rs converging ltowards one another in the directionof said tread portion, the outermost of said members being more inclined to the vertical to increase the lateral stability of the tire.
